A Hydro Tints Window Solution in Preston

Private

Challenge

The IMC building, a modern commercial space in a busy urban area, required a window film solution that provided privacy without compromising the building’s contemporary aesthetic. The clear glass panels, while architecturally appealing, left the interior spaces visible to passersby and neighboring buildings, which raised concerns for the occupants' privacy. The management sought a window film that would blend seamlessly with the building's design and offer a solution to their privacy needs.

Solution

The Sputtered Neutral 35 window film was selected for its subtle tint and reflective properties. Its neutral color was an excellent match for the building's façade, offering an elegant and cohesive appearance. The film's specifications included:

Subtle Privacy: The film provided a delicate balance, enhancing privacy without creating a feeling of enclosure or heaviness.

Aesthetic Synergy: The neutral colour complemented the building's external color scheme, reinforcing the professional look.

Solar Control: While primarily for privacy, the film also offered benefits of reducing solar heat gain and protecting against UV rays.

Glare Reduction: The film helped to minimise glare, enhancing visual comfort for building occupants.

Results

The use of Sputtered Neutral 35 window film achieved several key outcomes:

Increased Privacy: The occupants enjoyed enhanced privacy, which contributed to a more secure and comfortable working environment.

Maintained Building Aesthetic: The building's modern look was preserved, with the film's subtle appearance complementing its design.

Improved Energy Efficiency: The film's heat-reducing properties led to a cooler interior and reduced energy costs.

UV Protection: Valuable interior furnishings and materials were safeguarded against the fading effects of UV radiation.
